(NR 822 973) Examination and excavation in 1928 at the E side of the gravel pit at Brouch an Drummin revealed 4 long cists, oriented E-W, in the position shown on plan. They contained inhumations, but no relics. Re-visiting the site in 1931, Craw found a slab fragment, doubtless recently broken from one of the cists, bearing an Ogham inscription: CRON(A)N. This is in the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (NMAS - Accession no: HPO 470).
The old name of Brough an Drummin was Kil y Kiaran (Craw 1929), Kilchiarain (Campbell and Sandeman 1932) indicative of a dedication to St Ciaran. (See also NR89NW 11).
J H Craw 1929; J H Craw 1932; M Campbell and M Sandeman 1964.
